Hey everyone!
I currently own a bmx frame that has translucent paint but after coming up 2 years or more the paint is completely peeling off the frame like peeling wallpaper off a wall and exposing the metal underneath the paint finish which is also starting to make the frame rust in certain spots.
I wanted to know what ED Black means on a new frame I'm looking at as regards the colour. I read something about it being called, Electrophoretic deposition - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_deposition - where, I think, they get the frame and electrocute it and then the special paint they dip the frame in binds to the metal, making the frame / paint rust proof or something.
If I could get some more information on this process that would be awesome as I don't feel like spending loads of money on a frame again for the paint finish to only start peeling off like paper from a wall after a couple of years etc.
Many thanks, Gregg
